Court is an institution that the government sets up to settle disputes through a legal process. Courts are important because they help protect our Constitutional rights to equal protection and due process under the law. Both criminal and civil courts provide the opportunity for the parties to have their cases heard by neutral judges and/or juries.

. Cultural hub, muzaffarabad

(UMT,Lahore, 2018) Sibgha Tahir

. “We shape the buildings and there after they shape us” -Winston Churchill Traditionally architecture simultaneously reflects and influence culture in a circle that arcs from national expression through neighborhood, workplaces and educational establishments. The very essence of every built form or built up environments is the manifestation of culture masked behind its layers of abstraction. The manifestation may be royal and imposing like those of the mighty empires, or may be simple and yet powerful to create an identity for those who adhere to it. It’s similar to an artist who paints his canvas and there by builds a sanctuary in the hearts of people and lives forever through his work. Elaborating the expression of culture on the built form is usually the unconscious effort of every designer. In fact, culture plays a dominant role at the very out set of any design process. This is because, any design when conceptualized to perform a desired function, is directly or indirectly derived from or synchronized with the cultural identity of the user. It is what frames our thought processes. It defines individual identity and helps to recollect past memories
